Product Description


VLSI-Design for Non-Volatile Memories is intended for electrical engineers and graduate students who want to enter into the integrated circuit design world. Non-volatile memories are treated as an example to explain general design concepts. Practical illustrative examples of non-volatile memories, including flash types, are showcased to give insightful examples of the discussed design approaches. A collection of photographs is included to make the reader familiar with silicon aspects. Throughout all parts of this book, the authors have taken a practical and applications-driven point of view, providing a comprehensive and easily understood approach to all the concepts discussed. Giovanni Campardo and Rino Micheloni have a solid track record of leading design activities at the STMicroelectronics Flash Division. David Novosel is President and founder of Intelligent Micro Design, Inc., Pittsburg, PA.

Reader Reviews
Make no mistake. This book is dedicated for NOR flash only. Well, I guess it is because all the authors are STM engineers. Nevertheless, it covers all the basic and if you are non-volatile memory circuit designers (eeprom/nor/nand/whatever), this book is for you. On second thought, if you have IEEE account and want to go cheap (cheap == not paying for the book), you can get most of the good stuff from this book by downloading PROCEEDINGS OF THE IEEE, VOL 91, NO.4, APRIL 2003. I remembered there are total of 11 or 12 papers in series. Yes, the papers are from the same STM people. Nevertheless, it is a great book. BTW, forget about the IEEE non-volatile memory book by William D. Brown. It is not a real circuit designer book but rather a poorly lumped together papers by other people.
